Ya know, I'm Italian and watch Conan do his ridiculously "offensive" impressions of stereotypical Italians many nights a week. Why is it that I can sit back, laugh it off, and enjoy humor.... and most of this one certain community (you know who I'm talking about) really just has a "get out of jail free" card when it comes to racist items. You CAN'T mess with them.
If Erica can't take humor, especially humor directed at one of the biggest clowns in the public eye right now- she needs to take a step back and make sure she's ready to be on the radio, especially a morning show.

: As the studio door shut behind her, Erica Cobb's first thought wasn't that she might be risking her relationship with WBBM-FM 96.3 on-air partners Ed Volkman and Joe Bohannon by walking out in the middle of Tuesday's show after protesting Volkman's impersonation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
